you could use the BackupManager this only replicates data to one backup node

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/cluster-manager.html

and you can fail over to any node, it will fetch the backup from the backup node

Hi, I have tomcat clustering working well with an apache load balancer in front (sticky 
session). I have around 10 at the moment, and I soon need to add at least 20 to 30 more. 
The configuration for session replication is "all-to-all", using multicast. My 
aim is to reduce the session traffic between servers, so I am looking for alternatives. 
The Tomcat 6 book (o reilly) states:

"If you find that you have too many nodes in your cluster for all-to-all replication, you can [..] segment your network such that half of your nodes are in one group and half are in another group" (or implement primary/secondary clustering).
I assume that segmentation is done by supplying a different multicast ip/port 
to the two groups, however, how will the apache (mod_proxy) know the right 
group member to fall to?
